CLARKsDALR, MISS, July 8.-The
Democracy OF Coshoma county, in the
"shot string" district, held q grand
rally and jollificstion here today.
Sturdy voters we're present from towns,
hamlets and sparsely settled neighbor
hoodr, the by-ways and hedges from
distance Of fifty miles in either direc
ton. The jubilee was the outcome OF
mass meeting Of Democrats held here
on the 2lst day of May last, when ar.
rangements we're made to have Mis-.
sissippi's model Senator, Gen. Z. @.
Wslthall, o, Grenada, address the peo-
pie on the leading questions Of the day.
The invitation to the Senator was op.

Thereupon committees we're ap.

Table and Grounds, Walter Clark;
Music, r. ii. Wildberger; Finance,

Blake. Each committee had from
five TO sixty members, taken from the
most influential, earnest and devoted
men Of the party, who entered heartily
upon the task allotted. As q result,
when the morning Of the great day
dawned bright and clear, barring scat.
tering clouds which served to temper
the heat OF the sun, II beheld our
hourishing town In complete holiday
attire, ready TO enter heart and soul
into the programmed proceedings.
Wagon load alter wagon loai OF Wis
itors were poured into our midst, but
the committee intrusted with their re-
ception were equal TO ali demands.
Senator WalIhall srrived on the
tr In from Memphis at s o'clock last
night, and was met at the depot by
Meters. Robo, Wynn and Page, local
committeeman, and Mr.. Williams, Of
the News, who escorted him TO the ~.
sidenee OF Mr.. John CLARK. Fatigued
from travel and loss Of sleep, the dit

their respects. Your reporter enjoyed
brief but pleasant conversation
with the general, who tmilinRly re-

morning. 1T was moi the beginning
OF his campaign for reelection TO the
United States Senate, in the sense
that statement would usually be un.
defstood. The invitation 10 address
the CoahomA Democracy had come TO
him at time when he was
this king Of making n tour OF the
State, but In q remote sort OF way.
No dehHite line had been mapped
out by him, and his acceptance
was based on the behei that the
"ShoestriDg" division Of his party
merely wanted enlightenment and en-.
tertaiGment on leading questions, with
DOT any parlicu ar reference 10 his
candidacy. 80 far ~ known, the Sen.
ator continued, ne had no opposition,
but the csntett was one into which
any citizen could ,nte', and II ere was
no prognosticating what might crop
out later.
Bright and early this morning PEG.
